Group Drum Lessons
The big picture benefits
In your mind private lessons may be the best option for a child… but will you feel the same after you read these big picture benefits?
-
For many students a one-on-one lesson is just too intense. They don’t want the full attention of the teacher on them for the entire lesson.
-
Many students learn better within peer-learning contexts, especially while they are beginner/intermediate students.
-
Students get the opportunity to regularly be playing in front of other people, reducing performance anxiety.
-
Students hear other students ask questions they may not think to ask; this can lead to a deeper, richer learning experience.
-
There’s more of a sense of accountability and healthy competition when it comes to practising between lessons.
-
Students develop the skill of playing with others straight away, improving their ability to play in time and understand music within a group context.
-
Lifelong friendships form in group classes, making the desire to keep coming stronger.
-
Students can be asked to demonstrate something for another student, reinforcing what they’ve learned, and giving them a little ego boost in front of the class.
-
Group lessons typically include an independent learning element where students develop the skills to focus and practise alone without the teacher staring and listening to every note during that time.
-
Musical games are more fun in a group.
-
Students get a sense of how they’re progressing compared to the other students.
